Thread regarding Nike Inc. layoffs

T-t's McGee was hired for two reasons.....

As for CJ...Nike figured they could shoehorn yet another fu--ing dot dot indian into IT.

Leadership in IT is useless as most of the fu--s don't even live near campus. Again rules for thee and not for me...don't get me started on the ATC DEI swamp.

New CTO MD and the toxic CIO she hired CJ are good examples of leaders that are not Nike and need to go ASAP.

I’d argue our current leaders are just as toxic as the old, just in a different way…

People on here always look at the past with rose colored glasses. No one seems to remember the “Just get it done”. Meaning sacrificing family and personal time to ensure we hit certain timelines for said leader to look good. That’s the old Nike I remember.

Lots of “if you don’t get it done, I’ll find someone who will!”

Oh how we forgot the 2017 CDO reorgs which started us on this train because those leaders were 3x more toxic than the current… but at least business performance wise it was there… right? Regardless, glad we’re changing the the ship to EH. I don’t think anyone in the room still respected JD anymore, especially after the last layoff.

Honestly, the way we’ve tried to fix the toxic culture over the last five years has been just as bad as the problem itself, and it's a big reason why we've seen such poor performance. We’ve basically swapped one form of discrimination for another and called it inclusivity. Instead of focusing on merit, we’ve been hiring and promoting people based on race and gender, trying to create this “Noah’s ark” approach, which, ironically, is the exact definition of racism and s-xism.

The whole DEI movement has been blown way out of proportion. These initiatives really need to be reevaluated before they do any more damage.

Which leaders are you calling toxic, exactly? EH? Let’s be more specific here instead of blindly labeling past leaders.
